The Streets' latest album The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living has stormed into the UK album chart at number one.
It is rapper Mike Skinner's second chart-topping album. It deals with the pressures of fame since Skinner's debut album Original Pirate Material which was released in 2002.
The Streets' follow-up album, A Grand Don't Come For Free, entered the UK charts at number one just a year later.
Skinner's third album has pushed Morrissey's Ringleader of the Tormentors from the top spot down to number six while Massive Attack's greatest hits, called Collected, is hanging in at number two.
In the singles charts hip-hop duo Gnarls Barkley has stayed at number one for the third week running, denying X Factor star Shayne Ward the top spot.
